This is why we have government. The answer lies somewhere between unfettered use of the water supply, and the waters of the US rule. Water is a public resource. Especially in this case, it’s not like you can pump only the water under your land. If you let your soil blow away, when it’s gone the problem is yours. When the water is gone the problem is everybody’s. Yes the water will come back at some point, but when?
